About
The West Chester Story Slam is a monthly event where anyone can get on stage and tell a five minute story based on the theme of the night. Inspired by urban story slams such as the Windy City Story Slam and Philadelphia’s First Person Arts Story Slam, along with The Moth and NPR’s This American Life, a few friends first met in Jim Breslin‘s living room to tell stories in November, 2009.
In January, 2010, the West Chester Story Slam officially began it’s debut season at Ryan’s Pub. Over the first two years, approximately 200 stories have been told. In addition to the live event, the website features videos of selected stories. A monthly podcast is also produced featuring three stories from the live event and is available through iTunes.
For the 2012 season, the West Chester Story Slam live events will take place at Victory Brewing Company. Come on out to listen or to tell your story!

Hello!
My name’s Viktoria and I’m one of organizers of Storytelling Festival in Ryazan, Russia. For Russia it’s the brand new issue – we’ll do it in Ryazan for the first time and also the Festival in Ryazan will be just the second in Russia. It’ll be held on the 31th of March.
We have one idea and hope that you can help us with it. Maybe some of storytellers, who participated in your storyslam can make a video with a message for our storytellers who just begins their way in it.
With the best regards,
Viktoria Zhabinskaya,
I Ryazan Festival “My story”
